I will never let myself scroll past a picture of Walt and not reblog it. I feel like I’d be dishonoring him, and he’s just done so much for me that it’s just not right.
Mr. Disney
Bless this man for enriching my childhood.

THE FACT THAT ITS IN FUCKING COLOR AS WLL OH MY GOD MY HEART
I had someone tell me that dislike of Umbridge is usually from ingrained sexism toward female villains. I kind of stared in shock — I mean I love my lady villains. I love nasty female villains. I love sneaky and clever female villains. I love female villains that wrap themselves up in what the patriarchy expects of them and uses those expectations to smash someone upside the head.
I tried to explain my hatred of Umbridge isn’t that she’s full of traditionally feminine attributes.
It’s that she’s lawful evil.
If you did an alignment chart, no one would represent lawful evil more than Umbridge. I don’t think there’s ever been a character that better sums up lawful evil.
And, to me, lawful evil is the most terrifying and disturbing evil there is.
To me, lawful evil is the shit that gets thousands of people killed while the person responsible walks away feeling like they did their duty.
Evil forces like Bellatrix and Voldemort are fairy tales. They’re the bad guys a good guy can chase away with a sword or wand.
Umbridge is that evil that really does lurk in the hearts of men (and women). The realness, the plausibility of it, makes her amazingly uncomfortable.
So, yeah, I can’t get as excited about her as a fantasy book creation as easily as some other female villains. Not because she’s a woman, or because of her gender presentation, but because she represents a sort of evil that’s far, far too close to home.
I find lawful evil scary because it has caused war throughout histories.
The romans were lawful evil, the nazis were, muslim extremists were and even the people participating in the crusades were lawful evil.
Lawful evil is the worst kind there is and it produces some of the most wretched villains there can be.
I give up on that person. They don’t know the difference between worshiping as a god and following as a king. While Bowser has followers from his kingdom, they still follow him as a king. Nobody willingly builds shrines of him and all his statues are from his own vanity.
Celestia, Luna and Cadence are worshiped as gods. Ponies built shrines of them and their lives have become myths in books. Ponies see have holidays to celebrate Celestia raising the sun and Luna turning evil.
Let me add some more characters who have been mistaken for gods…
Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. Can kill a man by pressing on a pressure point, survived having most of his blood drained from his body, able to expel venom from his body, is hailed a miracle in the post apocalyptic world of 199X.
Albert Wesker from Resident Evil. Has a messiah complex, can raise the dead with the T-Virus, plenty of loyal followers, has survived being dropped in an active volcano.
Goku from Dragon Ball. Most powerful character to come out of Japan, can generate enough energy to blow up planets, able to move instantaneously, everyone relies on his power to save the day, came back from the dead multiple times (with the Dragon Balls mind you) and even has ascended to godhood as of late.
Chelle from Portal. She’s quick witted, survived being on the moon and drugged constantly, worshiped by robots, able to jump through portals.
